Sure. Massive scale centralised electricity installations are not necessarily "more efficient" tho. And rooftop solar with storage can make a house entirely grid independent... Something the power companies would hate you to know

That's nice but we should be just putting solar on rooftops. On railway stations, over park and rides and other carparks. On barn roofs. There's lots of areas for solar without taking up big areas of land

Why would they even put the word "fears" in there. That weakens the message. It fuels global warming. Increasing the use of fossil fuels heats the planet faster.

The two people taking a total of $527k salary are a chartered accountant (who works part time, if i'm reading it correctly) and Mike King himself

@chrishipkins.bsky.social please heed this message. This is why you are just barely ahead instead of trouncing National in the polls.

Wow the FIRST thing this coaltion of chaos did was cancel the pumped hydro scheme that would have stored 5000GWh of excess renewable energy as hydroelectricity in dams. #onetermgovernment #nzpol

Two years since the 2023 election. If you want a really long read, chronologically tracking all the different attacks on nature by the Luxon Govt... well this is it! Luxon’s War on Nature Timeline www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
Luxon’s War on Nature Timeline - Greenpeace Aotearoa
It has been nearly 2 years since the formation of the Luxon-led Government. It has been two years of a war on nature.

Of course the law is aiming at the wrong party. Instead of retailers, it needs to ban banks and payment providers from charging retailers transaction fees, or cap them at a certain percentage.

Billionaire owner of new zealand brand Eco Store (now available across the US, thanks to another billionaire) has confirmed this: it becomes an addiction. Not least because becoming a billionaire makes you lonely. Loneliness leads to addiction.

Exactly. It demands attention, and rewards it by you not dying. Perfect. I find it meditative

It's not "bizarre" at all. Massive increases in gang membership, drug use and crime are a completely logical conclusion not just from police budget cuts but also the massive increase in poverty and hardship in this country over the past 2 years. #nzpol
